3/26/14 - Marisa, I am working on implementing all of your feedback. I have not gotten to all of it yet, but it is in progress. I took out the awards and will add pictures and fix the formating of all the documents.Sounds good.
For artifacts I place in the appendix, do I need to have an RN for those?No RNs are needed in the Appendix. Just maybe a label or brief description. Thank you.

Some of your embeded docs are large in width and requires the evaluator to scroll over more to navigate the artifacts. Consider making the size a little smaller.
Check the size of your embedded Philosophy--it has a weird gap on the left hand margin.
Personal Sec: Not sure awards from community college are appropriate in the portfolio.
Professional Sec: Any pictures to enhance service learning? I would not put both service learning projects in the same standard--see if you can use them in multiple standards to broaden the breadth of your understanding. If you are going to use JumpStart as an artifact I think you might need more than the certificate. Maybe a description of the activities you came up with as an officer, pictures, etc. It is a requirement to put your 5 Day COL in standard 3. Glad to see activities highlighted from your Lit Bag. Your embedded Phonics lesson plan is showing two pages at a time--hard to review. Consider adding a few pictures from the NAEYC conference.
I like seeing pictures of students doing work but it would also be helpful to see more photos of their actual work product.
12/15/13 (Shorr) Your porfolio is really coming together nicely. Your video looks good and you have added many new artifacts. You need some pictures and student work. I saw your government photo story but I did not see another digital tool.
8/17/13 (M Dudiak) Picture or video on your Welcome page wouldn't open. A video should be there from 2 semesters ago. You don't need to Table of Contents heading on the left hand navigation area.
Personal Sec: You will be working on and revising your resume during student teaching. I suggest putting it as an embedded document in google docs it will allow any revisions you make to automatically update on your wiki. Saves you time. Acceptance letter should be from Dr. Watson Thompson to the ECE program. Letters of Recommendation aren't appropriate for this section. If you include them at all maybe in the Appendix or when you are using your wiki for interviews. Keep the portfolio related to experiences in the program.
Professional Sec: Nothing in Standard 1 appeared. What is the Case study? Most case studies are better defended in standard 3 but since I couldn't see your details I can't tell your rationale. No pictures for Service Learning? Do not use INTASC in RN--needs to be InTASC. With any assessments it is helpful to scan in and see some of the assessment forms used. Make sure to use the correct name for the artifact/assignment--it should be Family Literacy Bag not just Literacy Bag. Lit Bag is the perfect artifact to show more interactive visuals with pictures, activities, and student work. Good to see more artifacts details with your various lesson plans--good job. Government Photostory doesn't show--I am not sure what it is.
You are going to make sure you share more visuals of you and students working. Also, you need to start collecting student work for appropriate artifacts. The lack of visuals or interactive aspects to your portfolio is concerning. The good news is you have plenty of time to revise with more effective artifacts. Let me know if you have any questions.

Overall, your portfolio is in great shape
You have many letters of recommendation,you might want to select the best 2 - 3
Add pictures/graphics whenever possible
